IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII thing UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

EDWARD L. PERRY, OF PATERSON, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND HENRY S. WINANS, OF LONG ISLAND CITY, NEW YORK.

ROD-PACKING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 339,925, dated April 13, 18 86.

Application filed October 30, 1885. Serial No. 181,381. (ModeL) To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWARD L. PERRY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Paterson, in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rod-Packings; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a perspective view of my improved packing, showing the four sections placed together; Fig. 2, similar views in detail of the two horizontal sections of 'the packing, the two vertical sections,

. forming each one of the horizontal sectigns,

being shown as together; Fig. 3, detail views of the two vertical sections forming the lower one of the horizontal sections; Fig. 4, a modification of my invention.

The present invention has relation to seetional packing for rods, either steam or water; and the object thereof is to provide a simple and practical packing, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the packing, .of suitable material, formed in two longitudinal sections and two Vertical sections, the two longitudinal sections being 30 formed by the two vertical sections B C and D E. The sections B G D E have extensions or to form a clutch-connection when brought together, as shown in Fig. 1, thus breaking the joints and preventing steam from escaping. 3 5

In Fig. 4 I have shown a modification of my invention, whereby the clutch-connection is dispensed with, and I provide rings 1), of duck or fibrous material, to hold the lubricant.

Having now fully described my invention, 0 what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A packing divided horizontally and vertically into four sections, each of which is formed with an extension to form a clutch- 5 connection when the sections are together, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. A packing consisting of four sections having rings of duck inserted in the packing, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

EDWARD L. PERRY.
